00:01:29.000 If you were able to view billions and billions and billions of lines of data, who would you think is going to win the presidential election?

00:01:37.000 We'll pick that up in just a second.

00:01:40.000 Mark Zuckerberg, who of course has the artificial intelligence capacity to see billions and billions and billions of lines of data of hundreds of millions of Americans, wrote a letter yesterday to Chairman Jordan.

00:01:54.000 I'm going to read the letter in its entirety.

00:01:59.000 Chairman Jordan, I appreciate the committee's interest in content moderation on online platforms.

00:02:05.000 As you are aware, Meta has produced thousands of documents as part of your investigation and made a dozen employees available for transcribed interviews.

00:02:14.000 Further to our cooperation with your investigation, I welcome the opportunity to share what I've taken away from this process.

00:02:21.000 There's a lot of talk right now about how the U.S.

00:02:23.000 government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position.

00:02:27.000 Our platforms are for everyone.

00:02:29.000 We're about promoting speech and helping—by the way, notice not free speech, just speech.

00:02:34.000 We're about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way.

00:02:39.000 As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety.

00:02:48.000 In 2021, senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree.

00:03:04.000 Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take down our content.

00:03:08.000 We own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure.

00:03:14.000 I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.

00:03:19.000 I also think we had some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn't make today.

00:03:27.000 Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction.

00:03:36.000 We're ready to push back if something like this happens again.

00:03:38.000 Now, I'm going to keep on reading this letter, but let me just say, looking back at 2020 and 2021, there's a lot of regret, a lot of, I wish I would have.

00:03:45.000 You are living through, right now, another COVID-type hysteria.

00:03:50.000 It's just called the Kamala hysteria.

00:03:53.000 Let us learn.

00:03:54.000 the lessons from COVID or we'll be doomed to repeat them.

00:03:58.000 The letter continues, in a separate situation, the FBI warned us about a

00:04:03.000 potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the

00:04:09.000 2020 election. That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption

00:04:16.000 allegations involving then Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden's family, we sent that story

00:04:21.000 to fact checkers for review and and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply.

00:04:26.000 It's since been made clear that reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn't have demoted the story.

00:04:35.000 We've changed our policies and the processes to make sure this doesn't happen again.

00:04:39.000 For instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S.

00:04:42.000 while waiting for fact-checkers.

00:04:44.000 The letter finishes by saying, apart from content moderation, I want to address the contributions I made during the last presidential cycle to support electoral infrastructure, otherwise known as Zuckerbucks or Zuckerboxes.

00:04:59.000 The idea here was to make sure local election jurisdictions across the country had the resources they needed to help people vote safely during a global pandemic.

00:05:08.000 This is all a bunch of BS.

00:05:09.000 I'll explain in a second.

00:05:11.000 I made these contributions through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

00:05:15.000 They were designed to be nonpartisan, spread across urban, rural, and suburban communities.

00:05:21.000 Still, despite the analyses I've seen showing otherwise, I know some people believe this work benefited one party over the other, and it did.

00:05:28.000 It heavily benefited Joe Biden and the Democrat Party.

00:05:31.000 My goal is to be neutral, not play a role either way, or even to appear to be playing a role.

00:05:35.000 So I don't plan on making a similar contribution this cycle, Mark Zuckerberg.

00:05:40.000 Okay, so there's a lot there.

00:05:41.000 Number one, the contribution absolutely did benefit Joe Biden, but he's not doing it this time.

00:05:47.000 The person who designed the Zuckerbach strategy is now the campaign manager and senior advisor of the Kamala Harris campaign, David Plouffe.

00:05:55.000 So there's multiple interpretations of this letter.

00:05:58.000 Let me lead with one that I think can give us a fair amount of hope.

00:06:04.000 We do not know exactly what is behind this letter, but we understand that Mark Zuckerberg's worldview is about Mark Zuckerberg.

00:06:12.000 He's a Zuckatarian.

00:06:13.000 Whatever advances the interests of Mark Zuckerberg, that is what Mark Zuckerberg does.

00:06:18.000 Whatever makes Facebook stronger, more powerful, he is all in.

00:06:22.000 He started Facebook.

00:06:23.000 He's the chairman of Facebook.

00:06:24.000 He will do whatever it takes to make Facebook bigger, more powerful, and to survive whatever crisis it's going through.

00:06:31.000 So there are multiple interpretations of this.

00:06:35.000 Maybe Mark Zuckerberg has evolved ideologically.

00:06:38.000 Maybe, kind of like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg has been red-pilled.

00:06:43.000 Maybe Mark Zuckerberg is tired of all the woke stuff and this is his way to fight back.

00:06:50.000 Zuckerberg has been getting into fitness and MMA.

00:06:54.000 He's been Around a lot of tech people that are increasingly endorsing Donald Trump.

00:06:59.000 Mark Andreessen still serves on Meta's board and he has endorsed Donald Trump.

00:07:03.000 We know David Sachs is in that universe.

00:07:05.000 We know Peter Thiel previously served on Meta or Facebook's board.

00:07:08.000 The tech bros, if you will.

00:07:10.000 That community is split and is increasingly going in Donald Trump's direction.

00:07:15.000 Not a majority, but increasingly.

00:07:17.000 But there's another interpretation here.

00:07:20.000 And it's far more cynical, but hopeful for those of us that want to see Donald J. Trump elected as President of the United States.

00:07:28.000 Mark Zuckerberg wants to be on the right side of this election.

00:07:34.000 The other interpretation is that Mark Zuckerberg wants to be friendly with whoever is going to win.

00:07:40.000 Now, outside of a public opinion poll from the New York Times' Sienna, outside of a poll that CNN could do or Fox News could do, who would probably have the most amount of accurate data of who is going to win the election?

00:07:58.000 You would think the social media companies that are monitoring keystrokes, postings, liking, commenting, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence, Mark Zuckerberg has probably, however we can't prove it, has probably directed his team to do an eight-year analysis of every major election Analyzing the data, analyzing what it looks like when a candidate is going to win, and then issue a report of, hey, who's going to win this November?

00:08:33.000 Again, this is somewhat speculation, but Zuckerberg is a very, very smart pro-Facebook advocate.

00:08:41.000 He likely told his team, go and analyze these billions of lines of data.

00:08:47.000 What Canada is being talked about more, what regions, what areas.

00:08:51.000 Mark Zuckerberg has a backdoor into the American psyche more so than anybody else, and only God Almighty knows more about the private thoughts, political affiliations, and motivations of the country.

00:09:08.000 Mark Zuckerberg literally knows what over 130 million people are thinking and doing on an hourly, minute-by-minute basis.

00:09:17.000 Big Tech, who runs enough algorithms on human behavior, probably has a good sense of who is going to win.

00:09:26.000 You can speculate that this is why you are starting to see Zuckerberg trying to come clean.

00:09:34.000 There is no way his data doesn't reveal some realities that basic polling can't.

00:09:43.000 The law of large numbers dictates billions of interactions.

00:09:48.000 And they could potentially be modeled into outcome and behavioral analysis.

00:09:54.000 Mark Zuckerberg likely told his team, guys, tell me who's going to win.

00:09:57.000 Go run all the algorithms, do a retroactive analysis of the 2016 election, 2018 election, 2020, and 2022.

00:10:05.000 And then run the algorithm again of who you think is going to win in 2024 based on all of that data, based on what you are seeing, based on all of the chatter.

00:10:17.000 And it is likely that we can assume that his team said, sir, based on everything we see, Donald J. Trump, based on the billions of lines of data, is going to win.

00:10:29.000 Now, that's not a guarantee, but it's a potential explanation for this bombshell, unexpected letter of contrition from one of the world's wealthiest men and tech titans, the Chairman Jordan.

00:10:40.000 It reveals something.

00:10:42.000 Zuckerberg wants to be on the winning team.

00:10:45.000 Again, it's just a speculation, but you think Mark Zuckerberg would write this letter if he thought Trump was going to lose?

00:10:54.000 No, he would say, Dear Chairman Jordan, I don't have to give you these documents.

00:10:58.000 We do whatever we want to do at Facebook.

00:11:02.000 The future is here.

00:11:03.000 Diversity is our strength.

00:11:05.000 And you won't be in power much longer.

00:11:07.000 No, no, no, no.

00:11:07.000 Mark Zuckerberg is writing this letter.

00:11:11.000 Because he is seeing something on the back end of Meta, which is America's largest data company, maybe besides Microsoft, is seeing something below the surface that the media might be missing.

00:11:29.000 Meta is much more accurate than a polling firm.

00:11:34.000 If you were to have Mark Zuckerberg alone in a room and you said, Mark Zuckerberg, you either get life in prison, just hypothetically, or you tell us what you know about the data of who's going to win the election.

00:11:46.000 Which one is it?

00:11:47.000 He would tell you and he would probably be right.

00:11:52.000 The back end of Facebook or of Meta.

00:11:59.000 It's worth trillions of dollars, literally.

00:12:02.000 Well, it's a couple trillion dollar company.

00:12:04.000 You think about it, you could see what parts of the country are talking about what issues.

00:12:08.000 You can see what issues are animating what people.

00:12:11.000 You can see, is it really that Gen Z women are as liberal as they say? 1.00

00:12:17.000 How about Gen X women? 0.99

00:12:18.000 What content on Facebook is resonating?

00:12:24.000 MEDA can take the political temperature of the country far more accurately than the New York Times, than the Wall Street Journal, than any other polling agency.

00:12:38.000 Because they have a window into 130 million Americans.

00:12:46.000 And they aggregate all of that data, and maybe Mark Zuckerberg and his team have become even better at analyzing it, and predicting it, and modeling it.

00:12:58.000 You see, Zuckerberg does not write a letter like this.

00:13:04.000 If a Democrat victory was inevitable, and that should give every single one of you in this audience hope.

00:13:11.000 And I say, oh, Charlie, they're going to steal it.

00:13:13.000 Oh, Charlie could take it.

00:13:14.000 No, cut that out.

00:13:17.000 If it was a foregone conclusion that Donald Trump was going to lose.

00:13:24.000 If it was a foregone conclusion that Donald Trump, they were going to steal it no matter what, Mark Zuckerberg would have bent the knee and said, Chairman Jordan, go pound sand.

00:13:36.000 I'm glad I censored.

00:13:38.000 I want to be friends with the Democrat Party.

00:13:41.000 Instead, Mark Zuckerberg is hedging.

00:13:44.000 He's hedging because he sees some fault lines in the back.

00:13:49.000 Of the greatest data reservoir on planet Earth.

00:13:53.000 And in the greatest data reservoir that he is only able to see.

00:13:57.000 It's a little creepy by the way because it's like pseudo god-like power.

00:14:02.000 It's pseudo kind of like, it's as close to, like, I can see what people are thinking.

00:14:09.000 That's a whole separate conversation.

00:14:10.000 I don't like it, but let's just talk about this from a political standpoint.

00:14:13.000 Mark Zuckerberg can literally look into the private impulses, the private leanings of a civilization.

00:14:21.000 And he sees something.

00:14:23.000 He, without a doubt, sees something.

00:14:26.000 And if he saw what was looking back from that reservoir, ooh, the country's really tired of Trump.

00:14:32.000 They don't want him.

00:14:34.000 They don't want any of this.

00:14:35.000 Then the letter would have been composed completely differently.

00:14:38.000 It would have been published completely differently.

00:14:42.000 And back in 2020, that might explain why Mark Zuckerberg wrote the $400 million check for Zuckerboxes.

00:14:49.000 It might explain why he wrote the $400 million check to help make Biden's victory possible because he probably saw in the reservoir of data back in 2020, ooh, the country's not that happy with Trump's handling of COVID.

00:15:02.000 This thing's going to be close.

00:15:03.000 I want to be on the right side of victory because Zuckerberg is a Zuckatarian.

00:15:08.000 He wants to be on the winning team.

00:15:12.000 His worldview is a pro-Facebook worldview.

00:15:15.000 That's it.

00:15:15.000 It's not Republican.

00:15:17.000 It's not Democrat.

00:15:18.000 It's not conservative.

00:15:19.000 It's not liberal.

00:15:19.000 It's pragmatic.

00:15:20.000 What is in the best interest of Facebook?

00:15:22.000 It's very similar to how someone runs a country.

00:15:24.000 He looks at Facebook as his sovereign country.

00:15:28.000 What is in the best interest of the real politique of the Facebook nation?

00:15:34.000 And he has a, of course he has a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, but he, he wears meta within his DNA.

00:15:40.000 Now you might say, Charlie, I don't trust Zuckerberg.

00:15:43.000 That's exactly why this letter is so interesting.

00:15:46.000 It's a public letter where he is signaling to you contrition and near apology to the very regime that is currently in power, by the way.

00:15:56.000 But might soon no longer be in power because Zuckerberg wants to be able to be close to Trump if Trump wins and he might see the rumbling precursors, the tremors, before a political earthquake coming in November that would displace Harris from office.

00:16:17.000 Hey everyone, Charlie Kirk here.

00:16:18.000 Labor Day signals that fall is fast approaching.

00:17:13.000 It's been so easy.

00:17:14.000 That is LegacyBox.com slash Kirk.

00:17:19.000 So understand, the Zuckerberg letter is by no means a guarantee that we're going to win.

00:17:23.000 But it's a signal that this thing is within the realm of winnable.

00:17:28.000 In fact, Zuckerberg might be seeing a trend line and seeing a trajectory.

00:17:34.000 He looks at this not through a political lens, he looks at this through a business lens.

00:17:37.000 And he has these billions of lines of data and he asks his team of brainiacs, high IQ people, can you model this out?

00:17:46.000 He asks his team, before I publish this letter, can you model out what this likely looks like in September and October?

00:17:53.000 What are the hotspots?

00:17:54.000 In fact, Facebook has so much data.

00:17:58.000 That he probably had his team say, hey, guys, what are the 15 swing areas in the state of Pennsylvania?

00:18:07.000 Yes sir, Mr. Zuckerberg.

00:18:09.000 Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:18:10.000 Allegheny County.

00:18:11.000 Center County.

00:18:12.000 Bucks County.

00:18:13.000 Luzerne County.

00:18:14.000 Scranton, Pennsylvania.

00:18:15.000 Can you pick those 15 and do an analysis?

00:18:19.000 What were they talking about and how are they trending in August of 2016?

00:18:22.000 What were they talking about and how are they trending in August of 2020?

00:18:25.000 And what are they doing now?

00:18:26.000 And then model out that sort of issue-based chatter, candidate-based support in those 15 areas.

00:18:34.000 Do the same thing in Arizona.

00:18:36.000 In Maricopa County.

00:18:37.000 In Pinal County.

00:18:39.000 In Yavapai.

00:18:40.000 In Cochise.

00:18:41.000 In Coconino.

00:18:43.000 In Apache.

00:18:44.000 In Navajo.

00:18:45.000 In Pima.

00:18:47.000 Find out what issues they're talking about.

00:18:49.000 Is this going to be an abortion election? 0.98

00:18:51.000 Or does that really just kind of taper out?

00:18:54.000 Remember, Meta and Facebook, it's not just that they're able to see what people are talking about.

00:18:58.000 They can see your location.

00:19:00.000 They can see your private messages.

00:19:02.000 They can also see your age and demographic profile.

00:19:06.000 I mean, from a political trajectory standpoint, or a political analysis standpoint, it's a gold mine.

00:19:15.000 So Zuckerberg is telling us something.

00:19:17.000 And he's telling us, at the very least, the most modest interpretation.

00:19:22.000 Zuckerberg wrote that letter giving everybody in the MAGA movement, everyone that supports President Trump, clarity that we have a very good chance to win.

00:19:32.000 It's a tell.

00:19:33.000 It is a total and complete tell.

00:19:35.000 And one of the reasons why the movement is ascendant, especially on all these platforms, Is we are seeing more and more traditional Democrats join our ranks.

00:19:46.000 On Friday, we had RFK Jr.

00:19:49.000 at the Turning Point event.

00:19:50.000 Yesterday, we had the former co-chair of the Democrat National Committee endorse Donald J. Trump for president.

00:19:59.000 This barely received any mainstream attention.

00:20:02.000 I have right here the New York Times.

00:20:04.000 You would think that if the former co-chair of the RNC A former presidential candidate endorsed Kamala Harris?

00:20:13.000 It would get some write-up.

00:20:15.000 New York Times.

00:20:16.000 Wounded troops find a home and vie for gold.

00:20:19.000 Russian air raid reminds Ukraine of enemy's might.

00:20:22.000 Respite is far from a truce in the Middle East.

00:20:25.000 By the way, just as a side note, front page of New York Times is two separate wars that the United States is funding.

00:20:31.000 That's important news.

00:20:32.000 I'm not discounting the New York Times.

00:20:33.000 I'm a critic of the New York Times, but that's actually legit.

00:20:36.000 Two wars on the front page of the New York Times that we are funding.

00:20:39.000 So you would think that somewhere, and again, I looked at the New York Times this morning.

00:20:43.000 I don't see it.

00:20:44.000 Tulsi Gabbard, where art thou?

00:20:45.000 Maybe it's here somewhere.

00:20:47.000 Deep, deep, deep into the bowels of the paper of record.

00:20:51.000 I don't see it.

00:20:53.000 Complete blackout.

00:20:56.000 So Tulsi Gabbard officially endorses Donald Trump, showing that this is the unity party versus the unit party.

00:21:02.000 Former Democrats, former Bernie Sanders folks, people that want peace, prosperity, common sense, competency, transparency, and an end of corruption.

00:21:14.000 That is what this is all about.

00:21:16.000 It's a coalition of patriots.

00:21:17.000 It is a bottom-up movement.

00:21:20.000 Maybe that's what Zuckerberg is seeing.

00:21:22.000 Zuckerberg interestingly published this letter after the DNC and after the RFK endorsement.

00:21:28.000 What sort of spike did he see?

00:21:30.000 What kind of heat map was he looking at?

00:21:32.000 We can only guess, but the Tulsi Gabbard endorsement certainly only helps Donald Trump's chances.

00:21:41.000 Play cut 51.

00:21:43.000 I had the privilege of joining President Trump this morning at Arlington Cemetery, and I can tell you as we were there, as he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, joining these Marines, loved ones, I felt the sorrow that he shared with them in their loss.

00:22:05.000 I felt and saw his sincere appreciation For these servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price and their loved ones who continue to grieve to this day.

00:22:20.000 So I mean what I say when I share with you that I know that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives.

00:22:33.000 Whether you're a soldier, you're an airman, a marine, sailor, or a coastie, he keeps us in his heart in the decisions that he makes.

00:22:41.000 This is massive.

00:22:43.000 This is a former Democrat candidate for the presidency.

00:22:48.000 Former co-chair of the DNC, she was a darling of the Democrat Party.

00:22:55.000 She was a regime-selected spokesperson.

00:23:00.000 And similar to Elon Musk, similar to RFK, similar to Donald Trump, they all left a place of left-wing comfort and found a new purpose in fighting for the country they love. 0.90

00:23:18.000 Those are class traitors.

00:23:20.000 Those are people that left where things were easy, but the country was collapsing and they wouldn't be able to live with themselves, and they decided to fight for liberty, for the citizen, and for we the people.

00:23:34.000 To leave a legacy.

00:23:36.000 To oppose the warmongers.

00:23:38.000 To make America healthy again.

00:23:40.000 To bring transparency and efficiency back to our government.

00:23:43.000 To secure our southern border.

00:23:47.000 Outside, Kamala Harris has some new endorsements that we'll talk about in a second. 0.84

00:23:50.000 And it's ones that we should be thrilled.

00:23:53.000 Because who's endorsing Kamala Harris?

00:23:55.000 The people endorsing Kamala Harris are the warmongers, the Iraq War architects, and former CIA station chiefs.

00:24:05.000 Here is the official endorsement of Donald Trump.

00:24:08.000 Tulsi Gabbard endorsing Donald Trump.

00:24:12.000 Play cut 52.

00:24:16.000 I am proud to stand here before you today, whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent.

00:24:26.000 If you love our country as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom as we do, I invite you to join me in doing all that we can to save our country and elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the White House to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people.

00:24:48.000 Which movement is the one that is adding and multiplying?

00:24:55.000 It's the movement that is being relentlessly attacked and criticized by the media.

00:25:01.000 The RFK endorsement is massive.

00:25:04.000 The RFK endorsement of the first Kennedy ever endorsing a Republican shows that we are seeing a mass realignment.

00:25:11.000 The Democrat Party is the party of the very wealthy, the very poor, and the very radical.

00:25:18.000 Let me say that again.

00:25:19.000 The Democrat Party is the party of the very wealthy, the very poor, and the very radical.

00:25:25.000 Outside of that, there is not a home for the moderate, the free thinker, for the plumber, the electrician, the welder, the police officer, the firefighter.

00:25:35.000 There is not a home in the Democrat Party for them.

00:25:38.000 The Democrat Party is increasingly hostile to the rank and file of labor.

00:25:42.000 The Democrat Party is hostile to the entrepreneur, the small business owner, the parent, to families.

00:25:49.000 They have vasectomies and abortion trucks outside of the DNC.

00:25:53.000 The Democrat Party wants to give no interest, no down payment loans to foreigners in the state of California.

00:26:01.000 Not an exaggeration.

00:26:03.000 The Democrat Party has left the people and they are enshrining their oligarchy.

00:26:09.000 And wouldn't it be easier for Zuckerberg just to cozy on up to that oligarchy?

00:26:15.000 Wouldn't it be easier for Zuckerberg to be friends with the power center that already exists?

00:26:22.000 Why wouldn't he do that?

00:26:23.000 It's a simpler path.

00:26:25.000 Because Zuckerberg does not want to be on the outside looking in.

00:26:28.000 And he sees the Tulsi endorsement.

00:26:30.000 He sees the RFK endorsement.

00:26:34.000 And there's something beneath the surface that is likely going to bubble up.

00:26:38.000 And that is only more reason why we need to all go chase ballots.

00:26:44.000 Download the Turning Point Action app.

00:26:46.000 To get into the grassroots.

00:26:49.000 To join our citizen force.

00:26:53.000 There is no guarantee that we are going to win, but at the same time, there's no guarantee that we are going to lose.

00:26:59.000 No doom looping, no hopium, no guarantees of victory, no heaviness.

00:27:06.000 It is the citizen action that will win or lose the election to do the work.

00:27:13.000 Do you know that we had over 10,000 people at that event download the Turning Point Action app and commit 100?

00:27:21.000 10,000 people download the Turning Point Action app.

00:27:26.000 10,000 new people that have pledged to go try to find 100 voters and a chase ballot.

00:27:31.000 It's not now all of them are not necessarily going to do that.

00:27:33.000 Maybe it'll be 5 or 10.

00:27:35.000 That's fine.

00:27:35.000 We aim for 100 because if you get 60 out of 100, that is a major win.

00:27:40.000 The exponential impact.

00:27:41.000 Can we show a picture of that event from Friday, please?

00:27:44.000 The exponential impact of this citizen revolt.

00:27:49.000 Look at that.

00:27:51.000 Imagine if every single one just goes and finds 10 new voters.

00:27:58.000 16,000 people, 10 new voters.

00:27:59.000 That's 160,000 new people.

00:28:01.000 That's how you carry the state of Arizona.

00:28:04.000 Getting into the communities, getting into neighborhoods, talking to your mom, to your dad, your uncle, your aunt, your cousin, your niece, your nephew, your Uber driver, the person serving you food, the people that bring a lunch pail to work to commit 100 to chase 100.

00:28:19.000 This election absolutely can be won.

00:28:23.000 And the momentum, do you feel that?

00:28:25.000 RFK.

00:28:26.000 Tulsi.

00:28:27.000 Zuckerberg's letter.

00:28:29.000 Turn off the mainstream networks.

00:28:31.000 Tune out of the noise.

00:28:32.000 Look at what really matters.

00:28:33.000 And most importantly, what are you doing every single day to register new voters?

00:28:38.000 What are you doing every single day?

00:28:40.000 To find new people and to make them join our ranks.

00:28:42.000 That work will decide whether the country survives or not in November.

00:28:46.000 So it's not just Mark Zuckerberg who is seeing something in the data.

00:28:50.000 Kamala Harris's team is seeing a lot in the data.

00:28:54.000 In Chicago, for the DNC, the DNC had to make themselves seem as if they were moderate Republicans.

00:29:00.000 They did not mention the castrating of children.

00:29:02.000 They did not mention abolishing the Electoral College, adding seats to the Supreme Court.

00:29:06.000 They didn't mention D.C.

00:29:07.000 or Puerto Rico estates.

00:29:08.000 They didn't mention the Green New Scam.

00:29:09.000 They did not mention taxpayer-funded tuition for illegals.

00:29:12.000 They did not mention mass amnesty.

00:29:14.000 They did not mention defund the police.

00:29:15.000 They did not mention abortions on demand and paid for everybody all the time, but they got close to that one.

00:29:21.000 No, but they had to pretend they were something they were not because the heart and soul of the Democrat Party is so out of lockstep with the rest of the country.

00:29:30.000 So they have to lie, they have to deceive, they have to camouflage, they have to pretend to be an organization and a movement, a political party, that they are not.

00:29:40.000 And one of the most egregious examples that should be laughed at and she should be humiliated is the front page of Axios.com this morning.

00:29:48.000 Because Kamala's data is showing her something.

00:29:51.000 You are going to lose on the issue of immigration.

00:29:55.000 So Kamala Harris, the border czar, who once called walls racist, and that walls don't work, flip-flops on building the border wall. 1.00

00:30:10.000 Axios.com.

00:30:12.000 Kamala Harris is just the latest example.

00:30:15.000 of flip-flopping on past liberal positions.

00:30:19.000 If she's elected president, Kamala Harris pledges hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border, a project she once opposed and called un-American during the Trump administration.

00:30:33.000 This shows how soulless Kamala Harris is, by the way. 1.00

00:30:37.000 This shows that she has no moral center whatsoever. 0.98

00:30:40.000 She will do whatever it takes.

00:30:43.000 She will ideologically and politically prostitute herself, even though she does not mean to build a border wall. 0.99

00:30:50.000 Do you know that she is showing Donald Trump's border wall in her commercials?

00:30:54.000 The very same border wall her party tried to get stopped from building.

00:30:58.000 In fact, do you know that Kamala Harris, as she oversaw the border, she sold the materials to build Trump's border wall?

00:31:10.000 Off for parts, up to $300 million worth of taxpayer-funded wall components have been left to rust since Biden came to office.

00:31:22.000 They sold some of the materials for about $2 million, but it was, the debate is whether $300 million or $2 million, it doesn't matter.

00:31:27.000 They sold off Tons of material.

00:31:30.000 So she's so in favor of a border wall that she stopped construction, sued of it, called it racist, said that it shouldn't happen, and now sold the materials for a major discount allegedly.

00:31:43.000 Axios.com.

00:31:44.000 Harris is embracing a more hawkish immigration policy as Donald Trump's campaign spends tens of millions of dollars attacking her about the border.

00:31:52.000 Are people going to believe this?

00:31:54.000 Is this going to work?

00:31:54.000 It might.

00:31:56.000 It worked at COVID when we told our kids to stay six feet away from each other.

00:32:00.000 It worked at COVID when we told everyone to get three shots.

00:32:04.000 Propaganda works.

00:32:07.000 Do not underestimate.

00:32:09.000 The efficacy of well-tailored propaganda.

00:32:14.000 Do not underestimate it.

00:32:17.000 It is easy to shrug this off.

00:32:19.000 Oh, there's no way that people are going to believe Kamala Harris is tough on the border.

00:32:22.000 Every two years here in Arizona, we see some Democrat running for office, running tens of millions of dollars of advertising, Mark Kelly, Kyrsten Sinema, doing their slow-motion walk next to the border wall, and voters buy it.

00:32:36.000 Kamala Harris says in Axios, she still has significant differences with Trump on immigration, opposing his approach to family separation and his plans for mass deportations.

00:32:46.000 It's not family separation, first of all Axios, it's making sure the kid is not being raped by the person that they are being brought across with.

00:32:53.000 So you do not have 320,000 child sex slaves like we do right now in our country.

00:33:03.000 Kamala Harris is now All about building the wall. 0.92

00:33:09.000 Now, outside of the fraud of this, this should give you hope.

00:33:13.000 It shows that the belief system of the American people is so in the conservative Trump direction that Kamala Harris has to accommodate her positions so dramatically, fraudulently, in a fake way, that the body politic of this country Is center-right.

00:33:38.000 The center-left of America is getting discredited rapidly.

00:33:41.000 On police, on crime, on homelessness, on the economy, on taxes, on immigration, on war.

00:33:48.000 They can't actually run on anything that they believe in.

00:33:52.000 They have to run as moderate Republicans.

00:33:54.000 And yes, that is frustrating.

00:33:55.000 Yes, that is difficult.

00:33:56.000 Yes, it might work.

00:33:57.000 But the good news is that means the country is not liberal!

00:34:01.000 That means the country is actually a center-right country.

00:34:04.000 Otherwise, she would run on getting rid of the border wall, but the people don't want that. 0.97

00:34:08.000 So the people are conservative, now we just need to get them to vote that way.

00:34:12.000 That's the challenge.

00:34:16.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:34:17.000 Thanks to the team at Hillsdale College, you can now watch an inspiring portrayal of Thomas Jefferson as he reflects on the meaning of the Declaration of Independence in a letter he wrote late in his life.

00:34:45.000 At a time where the far left rejects the principles of liberty and equality, we must remind ourselves, our children, and our fellow citizens that those principles are the source of America's greatness and a treasure to be preserved.

00:35:11.000 Go to charlie4hillsdale.com as we forever and always celebrate Independence Day.

00:35:15.000 charlie4hillsdale.com Joining us now is Rich Barris from Big Data Poll.

00:35:21.000 Rich, welcome to the program.

00:35:23.000 Rich, what is the accurate state of the race?

00:35:25.000 I see these story after story.

00:35:27.000 Harris leading Trump by 7 points.

00:35:29.000 What is the actual polling temperature as it stands today?

00:35:34.000 There was no bump from the convention, Charlie.

00:35:36.000 It's a very difficult environment for pollsters to poll in.

00:35:39.000 So, you know, I'm trying to be at least somewhat understanding with some of these results that we're seeing.

00:35:46.000 But that plus seven by Fairleigh Dickinson, people, consumers out there, you really have to be on your guard this year.

00:35:52.000 The polling gimmicks that we're seeing are set to blow 16 and 20 out of the water.

00:35:58.000 This is a very tight race.

00:36:00.000 I actually still think that Harris' bump was not big enough to give her a comfortable—to say that she's a favorite, to feel confident to say that.

00:36:10.000 Trump has been leading for over a year.

00:36:12.000 It's hard to reset, as you hear people say.

00:36:16.000 It's hard to reset that considering people still trust Trump on the issues.

00:36:20.000 So looking out of the convention, if you're Kamala Harris, you really wanted to see an 8 point, 10 point lead like Hillary and Biden had.

00:36:28.000 I went back and looked after the DNC in 2016.

00:36:32.000 In our polling, it took about four days, but Hillary got a five point bump and then it evaporated by the end of two weeks. 1.00

00:36:38.000 So if you're Harris, I don't, I mean, I don't really care what these people are saying.

00:36:42.000 It's not the position you want to be in.

00:36:43.000 It's a close race.

00:36:45.000 So are they oversampling Democrats in these polls?

00:36:51.000 They're overrepresenting them.

00:36:53.000 So there's a lot of problems without getting too much into the weeds.

00:36:57.000 You know, I came on your show when we had some big Trump leads.

00:37:00.000 And I told you, I think this is like Republicans being too willing to participate and Democrats hiding under a rock.

00:37:06.000 And then when they tried to basically kill former President Trump, Democrats, again, just dug a deeper hole under that rock.

00:37:14.000 When they removed Joe Biden, ironically, you would think 15 million people would be mad, but they weren't.

00:37:21.000 When they removed Joe Biden, they energized these people and they started to talk more.

00:37:25.000 Typically, the Democratic voter, people that are Democratic voting groups, love to take polls.

00:37:30.000 So you have like these educated people in metro areas that race to take polls.

00:37:34.000 That stopped for a little bit because they had a walking corpse as a nominee.

00:37:38.000 Now it's back.

00:37:39.000 And it's honestly, um, I think it's, it's, it's heading toward being worse than 2020.

00:37:45.000 And, um, if I hope it doesn't persist, but that's where we're at.

00:37:50.000 There is a, and they know this.

00:37:51.000 So what they're doing, I would say, Charlie, the, I think the most accurate way to describe it is that they know about these response bias issues.

00:37:58.000 They're exploiting them for a narrative.

00:38:01.000 And then we have these other scams, which is people holding polls for two weeks.

00:38:04.000 Three weeks.

00:38:05.000 I've never seen anything like this in my life.

00:38:07.000 You don't do that.

00:38:08.000 Polls are snapshots.

00:38:09.000 There's no good reason to hold a poll back for three weeks.

00:38:13.000 A month.

00:38:13.000 Morning consult.

00:38:14.000 Almost a month.

00:38:15.000 That's insane.

00:38:17.000 And then pretend that it's new news.

00:38:20.000 You know?

00:38:22.000 Let's go state by state.

00:38:23.000 What is the state of the race in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada?

00:38:27.000 So I think that Georgia is a tough lift for her because of the underlying shift that Trump is having with non-white, non-college.

00:38:35.000 And Rui Teixeira, the co-author of the Emerging Democratic Majority, people should read his blog, The Liberal Patriot.

00:38:41.000 He's not buying any of these polls.

00:38:44.000 Almost 30% Black electorate, much of it is not educated. 0.95

00:38:49.000 And that is the voter in these national polls and state-level polls that you're seeing Trump is really doing better with from 2020.

00:38:56.000 So that non-college number is not inflated by whites.

00:38:59.000 It's inflated by Hispanics and younger Blacks that are basically 45 and younger are breaking away for Trump.

00:39:07.000 Not for Republicans, less so, but for Trump.

00:39:10.000 So Georgia is a difficult, it's very, it's going to be hard for Harris to carry Georgia.

00:39:14.000 North Carolina is not competitive.

00:39:16.000 I'm sorry.

00:39:17.000 It'll be close and don't rest on your laurels, but Michael is not losing his own state.

00:39:22.000 And North Carolina in 22 when other states disappointed was right there along with Florida.

00:39:27.000 Voting heavily for Republicans and they had a clean sweep.

00:39:30.000 It's a difficult state again for the media and public pollsters to poll.

00:39:33.000 You know, SurveyUSA, which shows Trump down, also had Sherry Beasley up by two.

00:39:39.000 She got crushed by Ted Buzz.

00:39:40.000 So, you know, just people got to remember this stuff.

00:39:43.000 The Rust Belt is going to be tight.

00:39:44.000 Pennsylvania is going to be tight.

00:39:46.000 Now, I know people are much, and some people around, you know, Trump supporters, You know, behind the scenes, feel much more confident about Pennsylvania.

00:39:55.000 I would tell your listeners this.

00:39:58.000 This is now the third cycle, presidential cycle, where we're seeing this dynamic with the big three, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

00:40:05.000 Michigan kind of looks like it pulls better for Trump.

00:40:07.000 Pennsylvania looks like it pulls better than Wisconsin and is somewhere in the middle.

00:40:11.000 And then Wisconsin looks like it's pulling worse and more Democratic, so worse for Trump than the other three.

00:40:16.000 In reality, in both cycles, Wisconsin voted more for Trump, then Pennsylvania was in the middle, and then it was Michigan.

00:40:24.000 So it's a telltale sign that we are once again headed for a polling miss.

00:40:29.000 And I don't know if you've heard this, I'm just going to say it.

00:40:33.000 A certain pollster that everybody loves and calls the gold standard of the Midwest is apparently withholding a poll that shows Trump very strong in Iowa.

00:40:42.000 If he is winning Iowa by the margin that poll found, which I'm just going to tell you right now is 19 points.

00:40:48.000 Yeah, that woman, right? 1.00

00:40:49.000 What's her name?

00:40:50.000 Anne Seltzer.

00:40:51.000 From the Des Moines Register.

00:40:53.000 What are you hearing?

00:40:54.000 I'm super interested in that.

00:40:55.000 The poll was Trump plus 19.

00:40:57.000 And if that is true, in Iowa, Wisconsin is not going to be going for Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:41:05.000 If that's legit, you don't win Iowa by 19 and lose Wisconsin.

00:41:09.000 Rich, tell me about this.

00:41:10.000 It still has not been published.

00:41:11.000 Is this hearsay?

00:41:12.000 Because that sounds a little ambitious.

00:41:14.000 And she usually doesn't publish until right before the election, though.

00:41:17.000 Yeah, no, she'll do periodic surveys. 0.99

00:41:19.000 She will.

00:41:20.000 Yeah, yeah, she definitely does.

00:41:22.000 But one, you know, I basically, two people were specific.

00:41:26.000 It's Trump plus 19.

00:41:28.000 And then the other one was like, he's got like a 20 point lead.

00:41:31.000 That's what I was told.

00:41:32.000 So this would be and I hope this isn't the case.

00:41:35.000 I really hope it's just scheduled to be released and it just hasn't been done yet.

00:41:39.000 But this would be the second time that What do you mean by spike?

00:41:43.000 to poll and that's going to be very unfortunate because a lot of people look up to her in

00:41:48.000 this industry.

00:41:49.000 What do you mean by spike?

00:41:50.000 She doesn't publish a poll that would be good for Trump?

00:41:54.000 Or bad for a Democrat that doesn't want her to publish it. 1.00

00:41:58.000 So in 2020, she spiked a poll because the Biden campaign and the Buttigieg campaign were complaining about the results.

00:42:06.000 It had Biden in fourth and it had Bernie Sanders ahead.

00:42:09.000 The official reason is that they had gotten wind that one of the interviewers didn't ask during one interview about Pete Buttigieg because her screen was zoomed in And as she was reading the prompts, it cut off Pete Buttigieg and she forgot to ask that particular respondent.

00:42:28.000 So what did the Des Moines Register polls show in 2020, right before the election?

00:42:32.000 Yeah.

00:42:33.000 The final was Trump plus 7, I believe.

00:42:36.000 And Trump won by 8.

00:42:38.000 And so it's known as the gold standard.

00:42:41.000 So if she shows Trump up plus 19 in Iowa, that means that working class whites in Pennsylvania are thinking the same way.

00:42:51.000 And is there a world within the 99 percentile that you win Iowa by 19 points and lose Wisconsin?

00:43:00.000 No.

00:43:00.000 I mean, the overlapping, it's getting so much deeper than, you know, race.

00:43:06.000 The overlapping ancestry and ethnicity.

00:43:09.000 There's particular Scandinavians in the Midwest that are all, you know, you have Finns and Swedes that are scattered in Minnesota and they're much more liberal, right?

00:43:17.000 But in Wisconsin and in Iowa, you have Norwegians, which are so, they delivered the Midwest to Trump in 16. 0.98

00:43:25.000 And I mean, people should read the Emerging Republican Majority by Kevin Phillips.

00:43:30.000 It's a staple.

00:43:31.000 It really is.

00:43:32.000 But I mean, he'll explain this.

00:43:34.000 That is a huge key.

00:43:36.000 And they simply don't vote differently.

00:43:38.000 So Southwestern Wisconsin, And the western part, Sauk, you know, Rust, all the way up to the northwest of what we call the Lumberjack area of Wisconsin.

00:43:49.000 Trump does better than normal Republicans there.

00:43:51.000 There are three blue counties, but he gets in the 40s.

00:43:54.000 So does Ron Johnson, by the way.

00:43:56.000 And other Republicans like Mitt Romney get 30.

00:43:58.000 Rich, I'm going to stay on you.

00:44:00.000 I want to know for sure if there's a 19 plus poll spiked and this is during Kamala Momentum.

00:44:06.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:07.000 Absolutely.

00:44:07.000 I just want to know if that's legit.

00:44:09.000 So if you can break that story, that's worth tweeting.

00:44:12.000 Maybe put her on defense if that's legit.

00:44:13.000 Rich, thanks so much.
